<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This school
provides participants the opportunity to learn about small angle neutron
scattering (SANS) and neutron reflectometry (NR) at the NIST Center for Neutron
Research (NCNR). These powerful experimental techniques are used by
researchers in a variety of scientific disciplines to probe the microstructure
of materials at length scales of approximately 1-1000 nm. The NCNR is
home to world class SANS, USANS (Ultra Small Angle Neutron Scattering), and NR
instruments which are available to any qualified researchers through the
NCNR’s peer review proposal system. This school emphasizes hands-on
experimental training in the use of SANS, USANS and NR, in addition to a
thorough theoretical overview of these measurement techniques.
Applications of SANS and NR will be illustrated by specific examples drawn from
recent cutting-edge research in polymer science, complex fluids, microporous
media, magnetism, and structural biology. The course will enable
attendees to assess the applicability of the techniques to their own research,
and will provide technical information needed to prepare effective experiment
proposals. The Summer School is sponsored in part by the National Science
Foundation, and limited support for graduate students, postdocs and junior
faculty will be available. Attendance will be limited to 32 participants,
and only applicants from North American institutions will be accepted.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
